The Sutter Decarbonization Project (“Project”) will geologically store the carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from the Sutter Energy Center (SEC), in strata of the Late Cretaceous Starkey sandstones of the Sacramento Basin (Storage Facility) The proposed Storage Facility is located in Sutter County, approximately 15 miles from the SEC.

The Sutter Energy Center (SEC) is a 525 megawatt (MW) natural gas combined cycle powerplant that produces up to 2.0 million tons of CO2/year. The SEC is located approximately 17 miles southwest of Yuba City in Sutter County, California.

Using a conservative estimate of the total available pore space acreage, the proposed Storage Facility has the capability of storing over 50-million metric tons (MMt) of CO2. The current Project is designed to inject over a 12-year period. Based in part on the results of the Sutter Decarbonization Project, additional field development work may be considered. CO2 captured by the Project will be delivered to the Storage Facility via a regulated pipeline extending approximately 15.7 miles from the SEC to the Storage Site.

The Project construction schedule is currently pending, but the Commercial Operation Date anticipates the Project will be completed and operational in 2027.
